LYRICS:
Snowflake pattern hand knit socks
And tangled lights in a cardboard box
Old chocolates filled with strange liqueurs 
Some needles dropped from a Douglas fir

When time flies 
What gives it wings
Is it the lips and tongue and breath that sings 

When time crawls 
What holds it down
Could it be watching thoughts go round and round

Furnace filter changing time 
A box beside the turpentine 
A Christmas card from 2010 
Has travelled ‘round the sun again

Snow gives way to warblers calls
When the sun is bright and the shadows small
But we somehow made it back to Fall
And then to snowflake pattern socks and all

Because time takes 
But doesn’t hold
So we’ll let kindness keep away the cold
When time gives 
It gives all you see 
And so we trim another Christmas tree

Furnace filter changing time 
A box beside the turpentine 
A Christmas card from 2010 
Has travelled ‘round the sun again

Home For The Holidays is Arts & Crafts’ new compilation of Holiday classics, and original winter and Holiday themed songs from some of the top Canadian artists across the country including: Dan Mangan, Hannah Georgas, Sloan, Broken Social Scene (members of), Said The Whale and more. These songs have been curated by the team at A&C to give a new spin on what holiday music can be, whether it’s Dan Mangan’s soulful take on the classic “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas”, Hannah Georgas’ sorrowful re-work of “Let It Snow”, Busty and The Bass’ neo-soul-jazz rendition of “Auld Lang Syne”, or a fun stripped down original rock tune from Broken Social Scene/Make Say Think’s Charles Spearin; these songs aim to bring the warm feeling of the Holidays to you and your family during this most unusual Holiday Season. Home For The Holidays comes out Nov 27, 2020 and we hope it will make your season brighter, and ring in the joy of the Holidays.
